Abstract：
:This study investigated the relationship between intention of undergoing cancer screening and information, motivation, and behavioral skills using an information-motivation-behavioral skills model. The authors performed a telephone survey of a random sample of 2030 residents aged 30 to 69 years from 6 counties of Gangwon province, South Korea from July 15 to July 25, 2009. Questions about information, motivation, and behavioral skills were examined using a confirmatory factor analysis and relationships among factors were analyzed using a structure equation model. The intention of undergoing cancer screening showed a positive relationship between intention to undergo cancer screening and information(r = .134, P < .001), social norms(r = .059, P = .009), and behavioral skills(r = .129, P < .001). Therefore, comprehensive intervention considering motivation and behavioral skills as well as information is necessary to improve cancer screening rates.
